Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device for fluidic media, in particular for compressed air, with in-series-disposed base plate modules.
  • a solenoid valve is coordinated to each base plate module, where controllably blockable or releasable second fluid channels join into the first fluid channels.
  • a protective ground conductor, a neutral conductor, and a signal conductor are connected to each electromagnet.
  • the protective ground conductor and the neutral conductor are connected and running through in longitudinal direction of the series disposition.
  • the signal conductor connects the solenoid valve with the respective output of a signal source.
  • Such control devices employ solenoid valves, where in each case three contacts are required for their magnet coils: the neutral conductor for providing an electrical potential, a protective ground conductor for providing a protective conductor connection, and a signal conductor for the transmission of the control command.
  • each of these solenoid valves has to be connected to the three conductors.
  • the protective ground conductor and the neutral conductor are in this case carried through from the first to the last device component and are contacted and picked up directly in case of attaching a valve. Since the in-series-disposed solenoid valves are in most cases not to be switched simultaneously, there has to be a wired connection for each individual solenoid valve to a respective output of the signal source.
  • a device for the control of machines with switch modules is known from the German Printed Patent document DE-C2 30 42 205, where the switch modules are composed of a pneumatic valve and an electric drive for the valve.
  • the valve is disengageably connected to a pneumatic distributor strip and exhibits an electrical control module for the drive.
  • the electrical control module is connected, on the one hand, electrically to the electromagnet via a multiplug and, on the other hand, via a further multiplug to an electrical distributor rail.
  • An immediate coordination of control modules to a distributor rail is however not possible and desired in all cases.
  • the base plate module is therefore of a rather complicated construction and the complete arrangement becomes very expensive.
  • Base plate modules are located and disposed in series and include a first base plate module and a last base plate module.
  • First fluid channels are formed in the base plate modules and are sealingly joining each other and disposed in longitudinal direction of the in-series disposed base plate modules.
  • a solenoid valve includes an electromagnet and is associated with each base plate module. Fluid ports are controllably blockable or releasable by the solenoid valve and are joining into second fluid channels. The second fluid channels are joining into the first fluid channels.
  • An electrically non-conducting support plate is disposed next to a protective ground conductor and to a neutral conductor extending through the base plate modules.
  • the protective ground conductor, the neutral conductor, and a signal conductor are indirectly connected to a respective one of the electromagnets.
  • the protective ground conductor and the neutral conductor are extending through in longitudinal direction of the series of base plate modules.
  • the signal conductor connects the solenoid valve to a respective output of a signal source.
  • a plurality of signal conductors are disposed in parallel direction from the first to the last base plate module in the electrically non-conducting support plate.
  • An electrically conducting signal connector plate is disposed above the electrically non-conducting support plate.
  • a plug socket is adapted to the protective ground conductor, the neutral conductor, and the signal conductor and associated with each base plate module. Each electrically conducting signal connector plate is connectable electrically to the plug socket.
  • Groups of contact openings can be disposed in the base plate modules and coordinated to the signal conductor and furnished in the electrically conducting signal connector plate.
  • the signal conductor can be conducting within a selected contact opening of said groups of contact openings.
  • a contact plug can be inserted into one of the contact openings and thereby enable a switching on of a connection to the electromagnet based on engagement of the contact plug with the selected contact opening.
  • the base plate module and the electrically non-conducting support plate, formed for insulating the electrically conducting signal connector plate, can be disposed and contained in a joint housing.
  • the base plate module can additionally serve as an attachment for the electrically conducting signal connector plate and for the electrically non-conducting support plate.
  • the present invention provides that a plug socket for the protective ground conductor, the neutral conductor, and the signal conductor is coordinated to each base plate module. There are disposed in parallel a plurality of signal conductors from the first to the last base plate module in a support plate, made of an electrically non-conducting material, adjoining to the pulled through protective ground conductor and to the neutral conductor. An electrically conducting signal connector plate is disposed above the support plate. An electrical connection to the plug socket can be switched on and off from each signal connector plate.
  • Such a control device allows either to individually control a selected solenoid valve or to supply a desired subgroup of several solenoid valves jointly and simultaneously with the signal by employing simple constructive means.
  • An improved embodiment furnishes that groups of contact openings, coordinated to a pulled through insulated signal conductor, are disposed in the signal connector plate.
  • the signal conductor is conducting within a selected contact opening.
  • the connection to the electromagnet can be switched by way of a contact plug.
  • the contact plugs serve in this context not only for the transfer of the electrical signal but also for allowing a recognition of the switching configuration.
  • the base plate module and the non-conducting support plate, furnished and formed for the insulation of the signal connector plate, are disposed and contained in a joint housing. This achieves in particular a compact construction and a correspondingly low space requirement for the control device.
  • the base plate module serves also as an attachment for the signal connector plate and for the support plate.

  • the output ports A, B are preferably disposed at characteristic locations and otherwise characterized, for example, by color in order to avoid an erroneous connection in case more than one fluid channel 3, 4, is present at the solenoid valve module 2.
  • the second fluid channels 5c and 5d joining into the fluid channels 3 and 4 are disposed with axes parallel to the connection direction of the protective ground conductor blade 7a, the neutral conductor blade 6a and the signal conductor blade 8a.
  • the upper ends of the conductor terminals 6b, 7b, 8b corresponding to the protective ground conductor 7, the neutral conductor 6, and the signal conductor 8, respectively, are disposed substantially in the same plane as the upper openings of the second fluid channels 5c and 5d.
